Amazon Linux 2023 version 2023.9.20251110 release notes

These are the release notes for Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) version 2023.9.20251110.

Release Summary

This release represents an update to the 9th quarterly release of AL2023. AL2023 is the next generation of Amazon Linux. It comes with five years of support and brings features such as deterministic updates and better optimizations for Graviton processors into Amazon Linux. AL2023 is ready for production workloads, and you can start migrating from previous versions of Amazon Linux today.

Known Issues

  • Installing Swift on AL2023: Please be aware of the two potential issues during installation:

    • C++ interoperability: The system's package manager clang may not work with Swift. To resolve this, add swift-clang to your PATH or use alternatives to set clang to swift-clang.

    • Debugging Swift code: The system LLDB cannot debug Swift sources. Use the LLDB included with the Swift package instead by adding the Swift installation directory to your PATH or using alternatives to set lldb to swift-lldb.

Notable updates

  • AL2023 now supports Swift 6.2.1. You can install Swift 6.2.1 using sudo dnf install swiftlang.

  • Node.js v24 LTS (nodejs24-24.11.0-1.amzn2023.0.1) is now available in AL2023. Note that unlike Node's official binaries, these are linked against the system OpenSSL 3.2 and honor its policies.
